Someone says you can’t do this, you’re not good enough, or you just don’t have what it takes?
Good.
That’s the pressure that forges legends — if you know how to use it.
Most people waste emotional energy fighting critics.
But the best?
They’ve learned to flip that energy into fuel.
Some guy Jordan apparently was good at it.
I’m going to show you the mental switch they use — so you can do it too.
Here’s the trick.
It’s called **Targeted Transmutation.**
Sounds fancy, but it’s simple.
You don’t ignore the doubt — you reframe it into a challenge.
**Step 1: Capture the insult.**
Write it down.
Post it on your bulletin board like I did.
Make it real.
Don’t run from it.
It becomes your power source.
**Step 2: Turn it into a personal metric.**
Assign it a fitness goal.
‘Too old?’ → ‘I’ll deadlift my bodyweight by my 55th birthday.’
‘Too weak?’ → ‘I’ll do 10 push-ups every morning for 30 days.’
**Step 3: Ratchet up your focus.**
Every workout becomes a response.
Every drop of sweat is a rebuttal.
You’re not training against their words… you’re training with them in your corner — silently watching, fueling your fire.
If you’re ready to flip the switch from doubt to dominance, drop a 🔥 in the comments.
Let’s go.
